《Off-the-Grid Girl》歌词

[00:00:00] Off-the-Grid Girl - Lorraine Feather

[00:00:12] He packed his bags in Bellingham

[00:00:15] Took the water taxi to where I am

[00:00:18] Wed lie by the brook; his yellow dog

[00:00:21] Chasing butterflies while I wrote my blog

[00:00:25] It warned the outside world to stay away

[00:00:29] To stay away

[00:00:37] He would never pass the deep dark winter here

[00:00:44] He made that clear

[00:01:08] Weve got these rats as big as cats

[00:01:12] Slugs as long as your arm

[00:01:16] A nasty nest of rattlesnakes

[00:01:20] Down by the onion farm

[00:01:24] We brought them in to eat the rats

[00:01:28] Which as I stated are big as cats

[00:01:33] All they did was multiply and grow

[00:01:40] Its a very scary place to be

[00:01:48] Unless youre an off-the-grid girl

[00:01:57] Like me

[00:02:06] Forget about the ferry route;

[00:02:10] It wont be dropping you here

[00:02:14] Forget those touched-up listings

[00:02:18] On the walls of Windermere

[00:02:22] Or Coldwell Banker or John L Scott

[00:02:26] One barren plot is all weve got

[00:02:31] Extended stays are scarcely apropos

[00:02:38] Though theres a cabin in the shadow of the penitentiary

[00:02:46] Just right for an off-the-grid girl

[00:02:55] Like me

[00:03:41] Its curtains for our aquifer

[00:03:45] Salt pours from every tap

[00:03:49] Not much can grow but nettles

[00:03:53] And theyll sting you in a snap

[00:03:57] But if youre coming anyhow

[00:04:01] Get all your vaccinations now

[00:04:07] Ill tell you something

[00:04:09] (Keep it on the down-low ):

[00:04:13] Theres a nasty pox for which theres no immunity

[00:04:21] Unless youre an off-the-grid girl

[00:04:30] Like me

[00:04:39] Ive kept his books beside the bed

[00:04:47] Ive let him stay inside my head

[00:05:04] Hed walk by the table where I sold

[00:05:08] The beets of purple the plums of gold

[00:05:20] I guessed a Harvard cap and gown

[00:05:24] I knew he played his money down
